Technical Abstract

According to an embodiment, a display device includes a display, a network interface configured to communicate with an external server, and a controller configured to capture audio content during playback of Audio/Video (A/V) content, acquire a first content identifier based on the captured audio content, display a first pop-up window corresponding to the acquired first content identifier on the display, when a mute interval is continued for a predetermined time, capture video content, acquire a second content identifier based on captured video content, and, when the acquired second content identifier is not identical to the first content identifier, display a second pop-up window corresponding to the second content identifier on the display.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to prevent the second pop-up window from being displayed when the acquired second content identifier is identical to the first content identifier.

3

3. The display device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether the audio content is music based on a waveform of the audio content when a mute interval is not continued for the predetermined time.

4

4. The display device of claim 3, wherein the controller is configured to transmit audio feature information of the audio content to the external server through the network interface when it is determined that the audio content is the music, receive music information from the external server, and determine whether a third content identifier mapped to the received music information exists.

6

6. The display device of claim 4, wherein the controller is configured to extract sound feature information from the audio content, transmit the extracted sound feature information to the external server, and receive sound information from the external server when the third content identifier mapped to the received music information does not exist.

7

7. The display device of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to acquire a fourth content identifier based on the sound information and determine whether the fourth content identifier is identical to the first content identifier.

8

8. The display device of claim 7, wherein the controller is configured to display a fourth pop-up window corresponding to the fourth content identifier when the acquired fourth content identifier is not identical to the first content identifier.

9

9. The display device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to transmit audio feature information extracted from the audio content to an audio ACR server and receive the first content identifier from the audio ACR server.

10

10. The display device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to transmit video feature information extracted from the video content to a video ACR server, and receive the first content identifier from the video ACR server.

11

11. The display device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to prevent a pop-up window other than the first pop-up window from being displayed until playback of the A/V content is ended when the acquired second content identifier is identical to the first content identifier.

12

12. The display device of claim 1, wherein the first pop-up window includes an enhanced service related to the A/V content.

13

13. The display device of claim 1, wherein the first pop-up window includes an enhanced service unrelated to the A/V content.

14

14. The display device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to receive information about the first pop-up window and the second pop-up window from an enhanced service providing server.
